  Ten Key Strategies for Overcoming Failure   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Productivity, Success (1)

  Action separates between the winners and the losers in life. Massive action is the key to consistency in productivity and achieving results in life. Being consisstent in action does not mean filling up your days with activity. Activity does not necessarily mean productivity. You must have a clear-cut goal that you aim at attaining. Failure [...]

  Sowing Seeds   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration, Learning, Success (2)

  I’ve been a bit reflective lately, surprising I know. *snort* I’m seeing with more and more clarity how we create our own realities, frame our own expectations and then our very lives based on those thoughts and feelings.
  This sounds supremely simple, yet every day the energies and resources spent refuting the truth are insurmountable. [...]

  The Sweet Magic of TALENT   Attitude, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Productivity, Success (0)

  The entire United States, particularly the College world, is currently deeply consumed by the NCAA tournament. The entire nation tuned in yesterday to see two teams punch their ticket into the Finals after a terrific Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight and Final Four. Memphis advanced to the Finals by beating UCLA and Kansas advanced by beating [...]

  GROWTH: The Six Keys to a Better Life   Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Learning, Productivity, Success (3)

  One of the most important things that must be grasped in life is that growth is not permanent. Many times we set a goal for accomplishment and once that goal is attained we sort of settle into a feeling that we have arrived. Best example of this is the diploma mentality. Most people stop learning [...]

  Back The Train Up   Attitude, Change, Choices, Inspiration, Tangents (5)

  This morning I was reading a friend’s blog post about common sense and how it’s gone on a “permanent vacation” (I loved those words!) Then I went out and looked at some old articles I started to write several months ago. One was titled “Back The Train Up” and I’d begun by sharing how [...]

  Put a Ribbon in My Hair?!?   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration (2)

  Toss out the “roles” and discover your freedom.
  As a woman from the south, born in the ’50s, I was raised to be small, quiet, polite and inauthentic… a perfect southern belle. The instructions were to look and act pretty, speak when spoken to and keep a low profile, ESPECIALLY around men. I was groomed to [...]

  Old Love on Valentine’s Day   Choices (0)

  I’ve been married to DH for almost seven wonderful years. We’ve had many great adventures, many small triumphs and a few tragedies. He’s everything I ever wanted. But this Valentine’s Day, I’m spending the evening with an old love.
  I didn’t plan the timing of our reunion - that was purely chance. But [...]

  What comes out of reflection?   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration (7)

  For me, a time of reflection usually leads to some writing. There is so much information flowing. So much sensory input to absorb. It takes time to put it together, make some sense of it.
  The reflection time can come in the shower. Literally cleaning up for the day. Some how that provides a good [...]

  Reflecting on Reflecting…   Attitude, Change, Choices, Giving, Growth, Inspiration (7)

  Well January is already almost gone and I can hardly believe it. If you’re like me you spend a bit of time at the beginning of the year reflecting on the past. What did I accomplish last year? How did I improve my life and the lives of those I met? Where [...]

  Raising The Bar   Choices, Inspiration, Success (7)

  I’m bound and determined to make 2008 the year I really jump into 100 bloggers. I truly love the overall feeling of this group, the topics shared and ability to rub shoulders with other fantastic bloggers.
  My first post wasn’t written for the topic of reflection, but I think it fits well enough to share. [...]

  Reflection: Being Homesick for a Place You’ve Never Been   Choices (4)

  This month’s topic of “reflection” directed me in two ways: first, to focus on the close-up, and conduct an audit of the present and recent past. The other was to look past my reflection and see where I’ve been in the more distant past.
  Objects in the mirror turned out to be closer [...]

  Red Velvet Cake   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Learning (3)

  Are you comfy with the process of creating what you desire? Aware that you do it every moment of every day? Everything in life up to this point, and forever moving forward, is, was, and will be created by you. Not just some of it, ALL of it! YOU’RE DOIN’ IT!
  Question: Does it seem as [...]

  Nelson Mandela on Optimism   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration, Success (3)

  My favorite quote (which I believe to be one of the greatest statements ever uttered) is from Nelson Mandela. No man, besides Mahatma Gandhi, has ever demonstrated greater leadership since Constantine the Great in 280 AD. Mandela is an icon - a rare species of a man, who was jailed for more than twenty years yet stayed focused and came out to [...]

  Systematic Problem Solving   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration, Learning, Productivity, Success (0)

  We all face problems daily. As a matter of fact, life is a series of problems with an occassional crisis here and there. One of the most important skills to develop therefore is the art of systematic problem solving. Systematic problem solving simply means having a methodology for handling life’s problems. By solving problems in an orderly [...]
